PDF Comparison Tool

Compare the text content of two PDF files and see additions and removals highlighted.

About this tool

Compare the text content of two PDF files and see additions and removals highlighted. It runs entirely in your browser using open-source PDF libraries, so your document is processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. That makes it a fast, private option any time you need to compare the text of two PDFs and see what changed.

How to use it

  1. Upload two versions of a PDF.
  2. Let the tool compare their text content.
  3. Review the highlighted additions and removals.

Tips

  • This compares text content, not the exact visual layout — formatting-only changes may not show.
  • Best for spotting wording changes between contract drafts or policy revisions.

FAQ

Does this compare images or just text?

Just text content — visual-only differences like color changes aren't detected.
